Models of the Universe like the Concordance Model today used to interpret cosmological observations give expectation values for many cosmological observable so accurate that frequently peoples speak of Precision Cosmology. The quoted accuracies however do not include the effects of priors used in optimizing the Model nor allow to evaluate the confidence one can attach to the Model. We suggest an estimator of the Confidence Level for Models and the accuracies of the expectation values of the Model observables

We present the first detailed case study using quadratic estimators (QE) to diagnose and remove systematics present in observed Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) maps. In this work we focus on the temperature to polarization leakage. We use an iterat
ive QE analysis to remove systematics, in analogy to de-lensing, recovering the primordial B-mode signal and the systematic maps. We introduce a new Gaussian filtering scheme crucial to stable convergence of the iterative cleaning procedure and validate with comparisons to semi-analytical forecasts. We study the limitations of this method by examining its performance both on idealized simulations and on more realistic, non-ideal simulations, where we assume varying de-lensing efficiencies. Finally, we quantify the systematic cleaning efficiency by presenting a likelihood analysis on the tensor to scalar ratio, $r$, and demonstrate that the blind cleaning results in an un-biased measurement of $r$, reducing the systematic induced B-mode power by nearly two orders of magnitude.
Detection of the cosmological neutral hydrogen signal from the Epoch of Reionization, and estimation of its basic physical parameters, is the principal scientific aim of many current low-frequency radio telescopes. Here we describe the Cosmological H
I Power Spectrum Estimator (CHIPS), an algorithm developed and implemented with data from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), to compute the two-dimensional and spherically-averaged power spectrum of brightness temperature fluctuations. The principal motivations for CHIPS are the application of realistic instrumental and foreground models to form the optimal estimator, thereby maximising the likelihood of unbiased signal estimation, and allowing a full covariant understanding of the outputs. CHIPS employs an inverse-covariance weighting of the data through the maximum likelihood estimator, thereby allowing use of the full parameter space for signal estimation (foreground suppression). We describe the motivation for the algorithm, implementation, application to real and simulated data, and early outputs. Upon application to a set of 3 hours of data, we set a 2$sigma$ upper limit on the EoR dimensionless power at $k=0.05$~h.Mpc$^{-1}$ of $Delta_k^2<7.6times{10^4}$~mK$^2$ in the redshift range $z=[6.2-6.6]$, consistent with previous estimates.
A new estimator of the local density of dark energy is suggested which comes from the virial theorem for non-relativistic gravitating systems embedded in the uniform dark energy background.
Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM), motivated by string theory, has recently become a hot candidate for dark matter. The rest mass of FDM is believed to be $sim 10^{-22}$eV and the corresponding de-Broglie wave length is $sim 1$kpc. Therefore, the quantum effec
t of FDM plays an important role in structure formation. In order to study the cosmological structure formation in FDM model, several simulation techniques have been introduced. We review the current status and challenges in the cosmological simulation for the FDM model in this paper.
We study the matter density fluctuations in the running cosmological constant (RCC) model using linear perturbations in the longitudinal gauge. Using this observable we calculate the growth rate of structures and the matter power spectrum, and compar
e them with the $SDSS$ data and other available data of the linear growth rate. The distribution of collapsed structures may also constraints models of dark energy. It is shown that RCC model enhances departures from the $Lambda CDM$ model for both cluster number and cumulative cluster number predicted. In general increasing the characteristic parameter $ u$ leads to significant growth of the cluster number. In general, we found that the theory of perturbations provides a good tool to distinguish the new model $RCC$ of the standard cosmological model $Lambda CDM$.
